Happy Again

Lucas fell, and now he lives with a disability. A story of resilience that kindergarteners and first graders can read on their own.

Lucas is a happy lion. One day Lucas Falls. Can Lucas be happy again?

When Lucas falls off a ladder, he hurts his spine and can’t use his legs anymore. He can’t stand on them and he can’t walk on them. Through self-determination and with the love of friends and family, Lucas learns new ways to take care of himself and have fun. With easy-to-read language and cheerful art, children can learn about physical disabilities while they grow their confidence as readers.
